A Thorn Between: A Classic Western Short Story

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

When twelve-year-old Thorn Marshall buries his family on the cold, unforgiving frontier, he believes his heart can’t break any further. Abandoned by a wagon train, shunned by a fearful town, Thorn faces the cruelty of loss with nothing but grit and the fading warmth of a quilt. Then a band of Union cavalry rides into his shattered world—bringing danger, violence, and one unlikely ally. In a land where mercy is rare and justice rides a fast horse, Thorn must decide: will he let tragedy crush him, or will he forge himself into something stronger? A powerful coming-of-age story set against the harsh backdrop of the Civil War’s final days, A Thorn Between is the unforgettable beginning of the Marshall Family Westerns.
